Reading the files of a directory
Reading the files of a directory.
read.directory(path.directory) read.examples(path.man)
path.directory |
The full path to the directory. For example: \"C:\Users\username\Documents\R\Rfast_1.8.0\R\" |
path.man |
The full path to the directory with the Rd files in it. For example: \"C:\Users\username\Documents\R\Rfast_1.8.0\man\\" |
For function \"read.directory\": Takes as an argument a full path to a directory and returns the names of the files.
For function \"read.examples\": Takes as an argument a full path to the directory of the Rd files. If you don't want the program to read any file add at the top of the file the attribute "%[dont read]".
For function \"read.directory\": The names of the files.
For function \"read.examples\": a list with 2 fields
examples |
A character vector with the examples of each Rd file. |
files |
A character vector with the name of the file that each examples belongs. |
long_lines |
A character vector with the name of the file that has large examples. |
You can choose which files not to read for both R and Rd. You must add in the first line of the file in comment the "attribute" "%[dont read]". Finally, that function wil return in the result a list of which files had this attribute.

# for example: path="C:\some_file\"
# system.time( read.directory(path) )
# system.time( list.dirs(path) )
# for example: path.man="C:\some_file\man\"
# system.time( read.examples(path.man) )
# system.time( read.examples(path.man,dont.read=c("somef_1.Rd",...,"somef_n.Rd") ) )Please choose more modern alternatives, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
